LigoVox
Many files.
One audiobook.
LigoVox joins MP3, M4A and other audio files into a single M4B file with chapters, cover art and book details. Ready for Apple Books and any audiobook player.
Everything a good audiobook needs
Drop your files into the window, check the chapters and export. LigoVox takes care of the rest.
One file instead of many
Dozens or hundreds of audio files become one M4B file with AAC audio. Set the order by drag and drop.
Chapters your way
One chapter per file, the chapters of an existing M4B, or markers you set, move and rename freely. Preview any marker with one click.
Cover art and book details
Fill in title, author, narrator, series, publisher and cover, or look them up in Apple Books and the catalog of the German National Library.
Transcription on your Mac
Recognizes the spoken text of the whole book with timestamps, entirely on your Mac. No upload, no account.
Chapters from the transcript
LigoVox suggests chapter starts like “Chapter 3” or “Prologue”. One click sets the marker with a matching title.
Save projects
Save the file list, chapters and book details as a LigoVox project and pick up right where you left off.
Done in three steps

Answers to common questions. If something doesn’t work, write to me.
Which audio formats can LigoVox read?
Anything macOS can play, such as MP3, M4A, M4B, AAC, WAV and AIFF. Existing M4B files are imported with their chapters.
Does the result work in Apple Books?
Yes. The M4B file includes chapters, cover art and book details and plays in Apple Books, most audiobook apps and on iPhone.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Joining and transcription run entirely on your Mac. See the privacy policy for details.
Why do I have to download a model for transcription?
Speech recognition needs a model of a few hundred megabytes. To keep the app small, you download it only when needed under Settings → Transcription. After that, transcription works offline too.
Can I keep working on a project later?
Yes. “Save” stores the file list, chapters and book details as an LigoVox project that you can open again later.
